From the AP story:
In the southwestern Haitian town of Grand Goave, an Associated Press Television News reporter saw at least four people killed when a wood and metal bridge collapsed. Witnesses said the river came suddenly rushing over the bridge.
Elsewhere on the dangerously deforested island, wind gusts uprooted a palm tree and sent it into a mud hut, killing a fifth person in the southern town of Les Cayes, the Red Cross said. Many homes and roads in the south were flooded, some by as much as three feet of water.
I haven't heard from anyone yet. Everything electrical or telephone-related is probably down, so it may be a while. Keep praying for them, okay? Grand Goave is on the main highway from Port-au-Prince to Les Cayes, so it's probably got supplies blocked the supply route.
Haiti's already a mess anyway... hurricanes just make it that much worse.
